# Flare Gas Recovery System Designer AI Agent Connect

> Flare Gas Recovery System Designer MCP provides the engineering math needed to design FGR systems. Your AI client uses this MCP to size compressors, check gas compositions, predict recovery efficiency, and run financial feasibility models for industrial gas capture projects.

## Overview

- **Tags:** flare-gas, compressor-sizing, gas-recovery, carbon-reduction, industrial-design

## Description

You can use this MCP to handle the heavy lifting of Flare Gas Recovery (FGR) design. Instead of manual calculations, you give your AI client the gas composition and flow data, and it handles the technical specs. You'll use it to determine exactly what kind of compressor hardware you need to manage specific gas volumes. It also checks if your chemical mixtures are actually processable before you commit to a design. Beyond the hardware, the MCP helps you justify the project to stakeholders by calculating how much gas you can actually save and whether the payback period makes sense. It's built to help you minimize carbon penalties by optimizing how much gas you capture instead of flaring it.

## Tools

### calculate_compressor_requirements
This tool determines the physical equipment specs needed to handle your specific flare gas volume.

### calculate_economic_viability
This tool evaluates if your proposed FGR design makes financial sense based on costs and savings.

### estimate_recovery_efficiency
This tool predicts the actual amount of gas you can save given your technical constraints.

### validate_gas_composition
This tool checks that your gas mixture is chemically valid and physically capable of being processed.

## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```
What compressor do I need for 5000 m3 of gas with 90% methane and 10% ethane at 5 bar?
```

**Response:** 
```
The required compressor will have a flow capacity of 5000 m3, a required power of 125 kW, and an estimated size of Medium-Scale.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Is a gas composition of 0.5 methane and 0.5 ethane valid?
```

**Response:** 
```
Yes, the composition is valid with a molecular weight of 16.04 g/mol.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
What is the payback period for a system costing $200,000 that saves $50,000 annually?
```

**Response:** 
```
The payback period for the system is 4 years.
```
